Overview
We are looking for someone with a heart for the Deaf and the unreached to join us in North Africa. The vision is to see a movement among the Deaf in the country! We desire to see Deaf disciples making disciples who make disciples.
Due to limited engagement with this group, there are no known believers and no Bible resources in the heart language. Currently, much of the focus is on learning language, making relationships, boldly sharing stories one-on-one or in small groups, and praying to God for breakthrough.
Whether you are Deaf, hearing-impaired, or have a heart for the Deaf and have a willing heart to learn sign language and about Deaf culture here, we would love to talk more.
